The Rising's Executive Women's Mastermind Retreat
Intentional time and space to put your oxygen mask back on, get clear and grounded... Rest, think, restore, and reconnect with who you are beneath every title and role you carry.

You're the one who holds it together.
The calls. The decisions. The fires only you know how to put out. You built something real — and it still needs you in every room, every hour, every version of your calendar.
You've read the leadership books. You've done the offsite. You've told yourself the fix is one more system, one more hire, one more quarter, one more hour in the day.
Four days at CIVANA won't hand you a new title or a new org chart. It will give you the space to rest, get clear, and remember who you are underneath both... and in a room of women who will tell you the truth about what you can't see yourself.
Both are hard. Choose the hard that moves you forward.
Three nights. One purpose.

A world-class wellness resort in the Sonoran Desert, Carefree, Arizona.

3 Hours a Day of Mastermind Programming
Led by Stacey Kauffman and guest experts — strategy, clarity, and the conversations you don't get to have anywhere else.
Space to Actually Rest
Programming is intentionally limited each day, on purpose, so you have time to integrate it — plus rest, think, and practice real self-care.
Total Value of the Experience
Stacey Kauffman
Stacey is an executive advisor, facilitator, and speaker who helps executives and entrepreneurs create capacity and growth, so they can lead their business instead of just reacting to it. Prior to founding the SK Collective executive advisory two years ago, Stacey spent 20+ years in broadcasting and media, in a billion-dollar media company.
She's sat on both sides of the table and advised businesses at every stage, from solo entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 companies, advising on strategic growth planning, operational systemization and leadership development.
Stacey founded The Rising to fill a gap she experienced: a safe space for women to come as their whole selves, and to be able to process, think, grow, and explore all they're carrying personally and professionally, without judgement or isolation.
Founder, The Rising & SK Collective
Two women who will change how you see your own business.
Chandler J. Holsapple, Esq.
Chandler teaches high-achieving business owners how to build a new revenue stream out of what they already have — no new offer, no new product, no reinventing yourself. Through licensing your existing expertise, IP, and brand, you monetize what you've already built.
She'll also cover trademarking, contracts, and the negotiation tactics women in business consistently leave on the table — the ones that quietly cost six figures over a career.
Dr. Joyce Mikal-Flynn
Dr. Joyce will teach you how to take your hardest experiences — the setbacks, the challenges, the things you're still carrying — and turn them into real strength, not just something you survived.
She's a nurse practitioner, professor emerita at Sacramento State, and the creator of the MetaHabilitation system, built from her own research and recovery from catastrophic personal crisis. She'll lead the room through what resilience actually is (it isn't endurance) and how mental fitness is a skill you build on purpose, not a trait you either have or don't.

Women who already know what four days can do.
"Discomfort. Reflection. Connection. This retreat gave me space to pause, realign, and step into my power — both personally and professionally."
"I invest in things like this all the time, and I rarely walk away with something new about myself. This time I did."
"The connections and the transformation were priceless."
"Every detail was thought of. The resort was beautiful, the classes were great, and the people were even better."
Four ways in. One decision to make.
Every option includes the full retreat experience — the room, the resort, and the 3 hours a day that could change how you lead.

This retreat is intentionally intimate. 9 spots remaining for 2026. Have a question before you reserve? Ask us here.
Before you reserve.
Who is this retreat for?
Women in senior leadership who don't need more ideas. You need time and space to find clarity — and maybe even reconnect with yourself. That's why the programming is intentionally limited each day: so you have time to actually integrate what you're learning, plus rest, think, and practice real self-care.
What's not included?
Airfare and ground transportation to and from CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa in Carefree, Arizona (Phoenix Sky Harbor is the closest major airport). Any spa services or activities beyond what's listed above are available at CIVANA at your own cost.
Is this a vacation or a working retreat?
Both, on purpose. You'll have 3 hours a day of mastermind leadership programming with Stacey and guest experts, and the rest of your time is built for rest, reflection, and connection — not packed with more to do.
What if I don't want to do something on the schedule?
The Rising Retreat is a no-obligation, no-judgment space to do you. Every activity and session is offered — none of them are mandatory.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
You'll receive a pre-retreat intake form closer to the date, where we'll ask about dietary needs and anything else that helps make sure your experience is a great one.
Can I bring a friend or colleague?
Yes. The Bring a Friend option includes dual occupancy for two women in one room, at $500 off per person.
What if I can't pay in full right now?
Two payment plans are available — 5 monthly payments of $1,300, or an extended plan of 8 monthly payments of $875. Your first payment reserves your seat either way.
Is my deposit refundable?
No. Deposits and payments are non-refundable. With only a handful of seats available, every reservation holds a spot another woman doesn't get. Full terms are provided at checkout.
Do you have a referral program?
Yes! For every retreat referral who books, you'll receive a complimentary 1:1 executive coaching call with Stacey — a $1,111 value.
Ask us anything.
Send your question and we'll get back to you directly.
Four days. One room that gets it.
You already know if this is for you. The only question left is whether you're going to save your seat.
